Thanks Bruce. It's been a long process and very frustrating. Hopefully I've learned something and it will be faster and smoother in the future. I still haven't received the letter. I'm basing my belief that the SI has been issued on the FAA's certification database showing a 3rd Class medical...

Not that I'm aware of, nor was such intended. In the POA thread referenced in Post #1, mention was made of a situation in which a CFI would be presumed to be PIC. It piqued my interest and I wondered what would be the presumption under the different circumstances I described. The consensus, so...

In an attempt to avoid hijack of the thread containing this post: http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/showpost.php?p=616651&postcount=42 The way I'm reading it: OP has a PP cert., therefore isn't a student pilot, but due to the "long hiatus", OP doesn't have a current BFR and cannot legally...

22 Looks like about the 75 percentile on the slider range. But as stated, passed the medical, and that's all that counts.

If you mean the invasion and occupation of Attu and Kiska in June, 1942, you could call the Aleutian invasion a success since it was the following August before US and Canadian forces finally secured the islands. It's also true the Japanese invasion of the Aleutians isn't very high in the...

I'm sure there are some skilled woodworkers in this audience, but I'm also sure you'll find a higher concentration of them in a forum dedicated to woodworkers. The one I'm most familiar with is "www.sawmillcreek.org". Post your question in the finishing subforum describing your materials and...

PDF or JPG is probably the better file format for an attachment here. Of the choices, an OCR'd Word document would probably have the smaller file size, but everyone having an installed viewer compatible with the proprietary file format may be problematic.

It's positively phenomenal how much bandwidth has been squandered on a petty argument about whether "1, 2, 3 , 4 , 5 ..." was recorded or live when it don't make one hill of beans difference to anybody. (And I still haven't figured out which of the participants has demonstrated they can pi$$...

Thank you, Ed. That's exactly the word I was looking for.

Thank you. Apparently I'd misread the altitude in a previous post in this thread as 1000AGL. A 2000 foot ceiling makes much more sense with 91.119 in play. But even 2000 feet might not be much of a deterrent for someone with the right cameras. On the helicopter front: The previous wording...

Well, Ron, we can certainly agree on that point. What I'm having a hard time seeing is, except for powered parachutes and weight-shift-control aircraft, what a TFR with an altitude limit of 1000AGL accomplishes in a congested area that isn't already covered by 91.119. And if it is already...

So you say. From my viewpoint is still looks more like political posturing than anything useful.

Which is absolutely useless for providing any protection from an airborne threat unless it's surrounded with manned and alerted antiaircraft weaponry and/or orbiting interceptors. Form over substance yet again.

Staged. The practical joke is on the viewer, not on the backseat passenger.

Sounds like you may be encountering some of the symptoms mentioned here: http://quitsmoking.about.com/cs/cravingsandurges/a/withdrawal.htm
